Gastroenterology Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital

The Gastroenterology Fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai / Mount Sinai Hospital is a robust academic training program with a long history and storied reputation. The medical school provides world-class facilities for clinical and basic science research and brings together leaders from a variety of disciplines. The Hospital, situated at the junction of the Upper East Side and Harlem, provides care to a diverse array of patients from a variety of racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. As a quaternary care facility, patients come from around the region and the world seeking consultations and care from our experts. It is in this context that we engage in our mission -- to train the next generation of academic leaders in gastroenterology and hepatology who will push the boundaries of modern medicine, deliver compassionate care, and advocate for equitable healthcare for the communities we serve.   

For fellows who have completed their Gastroenterology Fellowship, the GI Division also offers two, one-year advanced training fellowships: Advanced Endoscopy and the Present/Levison Advanced Fellowship in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

The clinical curriculum is designed to ensure that all fellows, regardless of their eventual career interest, are trained in all aspects of gastroenterology and hepatology. An emphasis is placed on interactive conferences, including Journal Club, Clinical Guidelines, Case Conferences, Endoscopy Conference, alongside traditional didactics. Fellows spend approximately half of their training engaged in scholarly pursuits under the guidance of an experienced faculty mentor. By the end of their training, fellows are well equipped to deliver excellent patient care and contribute to the fields of gastroenterology and hepatology.
